Re: What a waste of a feature....
said by blindraccoon  :Clearly you are not a Center Ice subscriber. Most days the channels that will show the HD feeds are not yet available in the guide by the time I leave the house. It is only sometime later (very early morning) that they appear in the guide and I have phone home later in the day to get somebody to set the recording for me. So this is a very welcome feature for me. I imagine this is a problem for the NBA and MLB packages as well. Anytime there is more programming than available channels you cannot look into the future using the guide and set recordings. Most times the games only show up in the guide at the most the day before they air. You are correct that I am not a Center Ice subscriber, nor do I have DTV. I can tell you however, that TWC lists every sporting event in the guide approximately one week ahead of time (just like they do with all their shows), so this isnt an issue for me. Either way, even things like the debates are listed days in advance on TWC's platform. Perhaps if DTV simply set their guide up normally there wouldnt be a need for this type of "feature". From your description, it does indeed sound like something that is useful to you so I am glad they make it!

| If you don't have DirecTV, why so hung up on this? 
One good reason for doing this - forget the "REMOTE" moniker. The ability to browse the listings on a web page and schedule the event is far superior to ANY interface available using a remote control and set-top box.
I've been beta testing this for a couple of months, and I don't bother scheduling ANYTHING using the TV/STB interface. I go to the web page, browse around, find what I want, and schedule it. It works. And its far easier/faster/more convenient.
The fact that I can do this at any internet enabled site with a computer, or from a cell phone or PDA? Not features I'm going to use a lot - but very nice to have.
So - enjoy your DVR experience, and those of us who can do it using a web page (ReplayTV, DirecTV, TiVO) will enjoy ours (more!). |
